Director Biography - Егор Грушин

I started working on this film in 2023. At that time, I was very impressed by Evangelion. This anime revealed something in me and prompted me to start my own creative search, which led me to the story shown in the film.
In the film, I make references to Hideaki Anno's work more than once.

Director Statement

Artistically, this work is my attempt to make an anime adaptation based on visualization and emotionality in a feature film.
Also, with the help of a recursive structure, I tried to convey the feeling of loss of support, reality, plunging the viewer, along with the main character, deep into the illusion.
